    While I actually post to Facebook an average of about twice a year(if that), I do like having it for group invites when friends are having parties and such. Much easier than trying to make sure you have the current email address of 20 different people. That's about the only thing it's useful for.

    2013 NFL Season

    It's that time of year. It's pretty obvious which teams have no chance at the postseason, so they can start thinking about the 2014 NFL draft 2014 NFL Draft Report; Full first-round mock draft unveiled . plus a few bonus second-rounders | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo Sports 1. Jacksonville...

    Any increase in drooling lately? That's usually a good sign. Our kid was pissy off and on for a good week to 10 days before we could even feel a tooth in his mouth, and then it was another week or so before you could visibly see anything.

    The chick is going about this all wrong. Winston doesn't have any money right now while he's in college. Should have gone after him in a couple years once he's rich and in the NFL. Honestly, this sounds like a case where they banged, and she was either drunk and regretted it the next day...

    I guess technically I'm always logged into Google+ because I'm always using Chrome/Gmail/Google Music/Google Drive every single day, but I haven't legitimately looked at Google+ itself in over a year.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Basically they are metal delivery, which is nice. Maybe I haven't pushed my wanted level high enough(I think 3 swords is the top I've reached so far), but I'd love to see some consequence similar to the threat of tanks showing up in GTA. Just some bigass behemoth Galleon that shows up and...

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    While it's easily the best pirate game since Sid Meier's Pirates!(not that there's been a lot of competition) it isn't really the same experience. I'm only maybe 10-15 hours into the game, half of that spent jacking with my ship, but there isn't really any factions like in Pirates!. In...

    Prediction: Florida St still finishes the season undefeated, but in the month between the end of the season and the national title game, Winston gets dismissed from the team, and Alabama absolutely rolls Florida St who is playing a backup QB in the title game. Meanwhile Ohio St fans...

    The Kansas City BBQ "get-together and pig out" thread

    Pretty sure Arthur Bryants has always been that, at least going back to the 50s. KC Masterpiece is pretty much gone as a restaurant, they still sell the sauce in stores but that's about it. I'm fairly certain that it was originally just a brand of sauce, but it became so popular that they...

    The Kansas City BBQ "get-together and pig out" thread

    Pretty much true. The best Arthur Bryants is still the original in the ghetto. The ones they've put in one of the casinos and out by the Nascar track suck in comparison. Then LCs, Big Ts, BB's Lawnside are all in ghetto-ish parts of town. Hell, even the original Oklahoma Joes is in a gas...

    We don't even have a release date on those do we? I've seen a few guesses on various sites thinking maybe Spring/Summer 2014 at the earliest. So probably at least 6 months away, maybe more from the sounds of it.

    DDR4 may technically be available next month, but I don't think you'll see any consumer-level products that can use it for quite a while(motherboards). Basically, we'll need a whole new line of CPUs and motherboards that are designed for it to take advantage of DDR4. If you want to wait on...

    There are only 2 types of bread that go with BBQ. White wonder bread, and possibly a bun(no seeds). Thats it. Some of the best ribs I ever had was at Dreamland BBQ near Tuscaloosa Alabama. Friend took me there before a 'Bama football game. Total shack in the 'hood, and sells NOTHING but...

    Make sure you know the precise age of all the major systems in the house(heating/AC) if you're going to be on a fairly tight budget after you purchase the home.

    No, there is absolutely no correlation between CPU brand and GPU brand. Stay the hell away from AMD for gaming CPUs And honestly, unless you are a "money is no object" type person, I wouldn't spend $500+ on a GPU. The problem with that is, you spend $500 on a graphics card now, and a $300...

    Yeah, PoE is my go-to game for the past year when there isn't something new to play at the moment. Played GTA5 for a couple weeks, then back to PoE while waiting on Assassins Creed 4, now playing AC4 but I'm sure I'll be back to PoE again in a few weeks once I'm through with that. It's kind of...

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Even though I've bought every Assassins Creed, I've either downloaded the torrent, or at least the crack file so I don't have to log into UPlay to play the damn game. I don't really have any interest in the multiplayer side of them anyway.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    I agree with the last line of the article, I hope Watch Dogs isn't optimized as poorly, because that might actually not run well if so. AC4s engine is old enough that it really doesn't matter on PC, but Watch Dogs looks like it could be a beast, graphically.

    I find it amazing how far mortgage companies will let Escrow accounts get jacked up. I'm in insurance, so we constantly deal with mortgage companies from the perspective of trying to get them to issue a payment out of the escrow account, and man, it's just jacked. I've seen customers of ours...

    I'd tend to agree. I'd much rather take an extra 1/4 lb of meat on my plate rather than having nice silverware and cloth napkins and someone to serve me.

    The Kansas City BBQ "get-together and pig out" thread

    Yep, the majority of the best BBQ places are hole-in-the-wall places where you might be sitting at wobbly old tables, and eating with plastic utensils and paper napkins. There are a few sit-down, normal BBQ places that are decent(Jack Stack where we went is one of them), but that's not the...

    2013 NFL Season

    Kansas City, several years ago, tried to get a downtown baseball stadium built and I think part of the tax money it was going to take to do that was going to come in the form of a MASSIVE tax on rental cars in the city. Unfortunately, Enterprise Rent-A-Car is based in Missouri, and they...

    Hows the multiplayer in this game? Only reason I ask is that I'm probably going to have the game mostly beat before it even officially releases on PC, with just a ton of side stuff to mess around with. Will it be worth starting completely over with the Steam release just for the sake of...

    I'm interested to see how RG3 turns out.

    2013 NFL Season

    While the NFL and it's owners do make money hand over fist, it's not like the community as a whole doesn't benefit. NFL games bring a TON of money to the home city(assuming your team doesn't suck and you actually fill your stadium). Tons of sales tax revenue, income tax revenue(opposing...
